1. A method comprising:
a) forming a structure by depositing a conductive sheet onto a first face of an elastomer;
b) depositing a mechano-optoelectronic film onto the conductive sheet, so that the conductive sheet is between the elastomer and the mechano-optoelectronic film;
c) connecting a mechano-luminescent elastomeric substrate to a second face of the elastomer, to provide a mechano-luminescence-optoelectronic composite; and
d) layering the mechano-luminescence-optoelectronic composite between a first layer of the structure and a second layer of the structure, wherein the mechano-luminescence-optoelectronic composite is connected to the first layer and the second layer, wherein the first layer is a fiber-reinforced polymer, and the second layer is a fiber-reinforced polymer.
